Lionel Messi and Neymar are reportedly talking on a daily basis about the Argentinean’s potential move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi has never been closer to leaving Barcelona, and there’s a genuine feeling the club stalwart will abandon the ‘single-club-career’ theme before the summer is over.

Having lost his patience with the board management and Barca’s lack of results, the 33-year-old has already handed in a transfer request.

Despite the fans’ ongoing campaign to convince their hero to stay put at Camp Nou, Messi is increasingly heading towards the La Liga exit.

After Manchester City and Inter Milan being mooted for his next destinations, Paris Saint-Germain have now also spotted a window of opportunity.

With Messi’s close friend Neymar already in their ranks, the Ligue 1 juggernaut have an ace up their sleeves for the coming race.

It’s not a secret that the six-time Ballon d’Or winner wants a reunion with the Brazilian dynamo.

Since Barcelona have failed to fulfill him that wish, the Rosario native is looking to pursue that desire on his own.

According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, the two are discussing a potential reunion at the Parc des Princes on a daily basis.

Despite reaching the Champions League final for the first time in the club’s history, the Parisians need leverage over other contestants next term, and Messi can provide a decisive one.

He already has four most prestigious European club trophies in his cabinet and is eager to add at least one before calling time on his illustrious career.

PSG seem to be offering better chances than Barcelona at the moment, and the lure of playing alongside Neymar again also plays out in the French side’s favor.
